Why it matters
Slack MCP access controls need to cover both tool requests and returned search results to prevent sensitive channel content from reaching AI agents.
MCP Manager’s guide describes restricting AI-agent access to sensitive Slack channels using a gateway and a custom HTTPS policy webhook. The approach blocks requests naming disallowed channels and removes those channels from search results, narrowing the access agents inherit from users’ Slack tokens.
